NOTICE OF POSTPONEMENT OF THE

SEPTEMBER 6, 2024 SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

September 6, 2024

To the Shareholders:

The Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of the BlackRock Municipal Income Fund, Inc. (the “Fund”) that was originally scheduled for Friday, September 6, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time), has been postponed to Monday, September 30, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time).

As described in the proxy materials for the Special Meeting previously distributed (the “Proxy Materials”), the purpose of the Meeting is to seek shareholder approval of the proposals listed below (collectively, the “Proposals”) in connection with the conversion of the Fund from a registered closed-end management investment company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) to an unlisted, continuously offered registered closed-end management investment company operating as an “interval fund” pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Conversion”):

 

PROPOSAL 1.    The holders of shares of common stock (“Common Shares” and the holders thereof, “common shareholders”) and the holders of Variable Rate Demand Preferred Shares (“VRDP Shares” and the holders thereof, “VRDP Holders”) of the Fund are being asked to vote together as a single class to approve the adoption of a fundamental policy requiring the Fund make quarterly offers to repurchase from shareholders between 5% and 25% of the Fund’s outstanding Common Shares at NAV, pursuant to Rule 23c-3 under the 1940 Act.
PROPOSAL 2(A).    The common shareholders and VRDP Holders of the Fund are being asked to vote together as a single class to approve a change in the Fund’s fundamental investment objective.
PROPOSAL 2(B).    The VRDP Holders of the Fund are being asked to vote as a separate class to approve the change in the Fund’s fundamental investment objective.
PROPOSAL 3(A).    The common shareholders and VRDP Holders of the Fund are being asked to vote together as a single class to approve a change in the Fund’s fundamental 80% investment policy.
PROPOSAL 3(B).    The VRDP Holders of the Fund are being asked to vote as a separate class to approve the change in the Fund’s fundamental 80% investment policy.
PROPOSAL 4.    The common shareholders and VRDP Holders of the Fund are being asked to vote together as a single class to approve an Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement of the Fund.

The Proposals are more fully described in the Proxy Materials. Shareholder approval of each Proposal is contingent upon shareholder approval of each other Proposal. Therefore, if the applicable shareholders do not approve each Proposal, then the approval of each other Proposal will be deemed null and the Conversion will not be implemented.

Other than the date of the Special Meeting, there is no change to the Proxy Materials that were mailed to shareholders on or about July 25, 2024. In particular, the record date for the Special Meeting of July 10, 2024 (the “Record Date”) and the virtual meeting format remain unchanged. Shareholders of record of the Fund as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and at any adjournments, postponements or delays thereof.
